.tho following is a hill. oloar, and exact dosoriptioll.

'l'his inrontion rolatos to llillH'tHtlllt'lliS in dorioos to ho utilizod in solling roiling and similar transparont lalnios.

In tho sahol' roiling it has hoon tho gonoral praotioo to roll the roiling upon bolts.

onstoinor. in haying. l'roquonitr looks at a. largo nnuihor of thoso holts and in ordor to dooido whioh \oil inatorial is suitalilo oarrios tho lltill to a l oking-glass and looks through a portion oltho \'oil whioh has hoon t'onnioraril i' nnrollod from the bolt.

'l'his pria'oihno takos oousidorahlo time and, as tho holts aro usually roturnod to tho. salos porson nnrollod. additional tiino is roqnirod to roll up tho lnatorial and roplaoo tho bolts on tho sholros. This a roquont hamlling of tho roiling o ton soils. toars and othorwiso dalnagos tho inatorial so that it is unsalahlo.

'lho ahoro oonsidorations ha\'o niado voilin do mrtinonts nnprotitahlo in many storos, sinoo tho morhoad oxponso is oxtroniolv high in proportion to tho prolils aooruing 'lroni tho salos mado.

\'oilin manul'aoturors haro also found it a dillioultniattor to suitably lrado-inark t'hoir \oils. as tho nmtorial itsoll' is of so upon a toxturo that laliols can not ho proporl f appliod thoroto. nor oan 'lahols lio printed on tho odg'o of tho nialorial.

'l'ho ohjoots of this invoution rosido in the provision f moans to UlHlillt tho liol'oro.- niontionod ditlioultios. attondant upon the salo of roiling and similar niatorials.

in tho drawings:

Figaro l shows. in plain a veiling; bolt with in' nnprorod toil display slide inserted thoroin.

Fig. 2 shows a view similar to Fig. 1 but. with tho ono wall of tho bolt cut away to show tho voil oarrying slido. Portions of the slide. are broken away-to show the con struction.

Fig.

Fig. 3 shows a oontral sectional view of Fi 4 is a sootional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 2 andshows the opaque back portion of tho slide.

Fig. 5 is a sectional viow takon on line 55 of Fig. 2 and shows in section the window aportnro in tho slido.

In more detail. in tho drawings, the bolt, upon which the veiling is to he wrappod is of llattonod tubular form having side walls 10 and ll suitably spaood apart at the edges h odgo strips 12. Those odgo strips 12 and walls 10 and 11 dolino a slot 13 open at both onds of tho tnho which is adaptod to receive a slide 14. Tho slido is ronndod at tln onds with tabs 15 upon which tho, trade-mark, stook mnnhor. and other dosirod data can ho niarkod as shown in Fig. 1. To facilitato tho insortion of tho slide in tho bolt, ono of tho walls of the bolt is slightly out awa as shown at 15".

The slido 14 is prot'oralily mado of two piooos of oardhmird. l6 and 17, g'unnnod to :lolhor h gnu! strips 1h. Tho haolt' piooo 1T oolnprisos an uppor opaqno portion li whioh has thoroon turoprosontation of a t'aoo as shown n Fig. 13. The lowor part of tho haoh pioro has a window aporturo out thoro through dotinod h odgos it) in Figs. 1.3 and Tho front part to of tho slido H has a singlo largo window aporturo dotinod -h v odgos .21 and of snoh sizo as to oxposo tho roprosontation of a i'aoo on tin:- uppor partol tho slido and tho window in tho lowor part thoroof. A sample [)lt't't of tho veiling 22 is stros ohod in position liotwoon tho haok and front parts It and ti and thol'oat'tor is hold firmly h tho glnu strips 18 whon tho two sootions of tho slido are prossod togothor. It will ho undorstood that tho roprosontation of a i'aoo is not ossontial. 1f dosirod this roprosontation of tho fat-o may be omitted. The ohjoot of this part is to provido a suitable liaokgroiunl against which the niatol'ial ina ho oxaininod and it will be apparent that this l)nt'li,f1t't)tllltl may he of any desired color depending upon the color of the roiling displayed.

In use the sales poi-son ronioi'os the bolts from the shelves and first pulls out. the slide 14 from the top to disclose to the customer the roiling over the opaque hack portion or over the representation of the face as the case may be. From this prelhninary exatninalion the customer can frequently determine whether the veiling is at all suitahle. If the customer wishes to examine the veiling more (-ritirally, .2. e. to look through 5 it into a mirror, the sales person either partially withdraws the slide from thefiother end ol' the holt so that the customer ran look through the veiling apl 'aring over the wind w, or the slide may he entirely removed aid handed to the customer. it is also possihlie for the slide to he almost entirely withdr: vu from the upper end ol the holt it it Is ('esired to inspect the veiling in this man- 'nerl r l? the use of this device the sale of veiling and similar materials may he farilitated as will he well understood.- Furthermore nuilril'aeturers can identify a veiling with a particular trade-mark and in this way edurate their customers to demand a partieular make of veiling.

it will he understo d that the rnstoiner may also hold the veil displaying slide against any desired harkground such as eloth. [n this way the customer can determine exaetly how a particular sample of veiling ehiil'on, net, etc., will appear when i used in a garment over such eloth. I elaiin: 1. A display device for veiling and the like, comprising a slide adapted to he slidahl inserted in a holt and having an aperturo"therein, said slide having provisions for rereiqiug a sample of the veiling and for permanently displaying the same over an aperture therein of such dimensions and eontour as to permit a human visage to he in specled therethrougli, whereby a person may determine the appearanre of the veiling 40 when the. same is placed in front of a fare, and said slide having a hack-ground portion adjacent the window aperture to permit an inspection of the veiling against a hack ground, said window aperture and background being relatively so disposed as to permit of concurrent inspection through the window and against the. haekground.

2. A display device for veiling and the like, comprising a slide adapted to he inserted within a holt carrying a veiling, said slide having an opaque hack portion against whieh the veiling may be inspected and a window aperture through which the veiling may he inspected, said slide having provision to seeure the said veil in adjustment over the opaque haek portion and window aperture.

;l. A display device for veiling and the like, comprising a veil displaying slide adapted to he slid within the holt; carrying the veiling, said slide having an opaqueliaek portion having a representation of a fare thereon over \vhirh a sample of veiling may he inspected and a window aperture in said slide through which the veiling may he insperted.

4. display device for veiling and the like. said device romprising, in eomhination, a uu-mher having provision to receive and retain a sample of veiling, a window aperture in said memher through whieh the veiling ('alried hy the memher may he inspected, and an opaque haeleground portion on said member and adjacent the window aperture against which the veiling may he inspected, said window aperture and haekground hting relatively so disposed as to permit of eoia-urrent inspection through the window and against the lau-lv'ground.

5. A display deviee for veiling and the like, comprising a slide. adapted to he inserted in and removed from a holt rarnyinp the veiling. said slide having a haek portion and a front portion, said hack portion having an opaque portion and a window aperture, and the front portion having a window aperture exposing the opaque portion and the aforesaid window in the hack portion, said front and hark parts of the slide heing adapted to receive a piece of veiling therehetween whereby said veiling may he inspected against a background and in iront of a mirror suhstantially as described. In testimony whereof I allix my signature.
